Empire State Building Takes On Unique ‘Glow’ After Trump Victory

As Repubican presidential front-runner Donald Trump celebrated an Empire State Building-sized triumph in the New York State Republican presidential primary, the iconic Manhattan landmark itself turned red.

Actually, the color show was part of prearranged plan by CNN to have the top floors of the building light up to show the color of the candidate in each party who won. CNN assigned every candidate a color. Clinton: Dark blue. Sanders: Light blue. Trump: Deep red. Cruz: Coral pink. Kasich: Purple.

“We are turning the Empire State Building a dark, crimson red to signify Trump’s victory. Blood red. Satanic. A warning, if you will,” tweeted actor and comedian Patton Oswalt.

While others commented on the color scheme, Trump focused on his landmark win that gave him at least 89 of New York’s 95 delegates.

“To the people that know me the best, the people of New York, where they gave us this kind of vote — close to 70 percent and more delegates than anybody projected in their wildest imagination, I want to thank everybody here,” he said.

“Like virtually every other state in the union, jobs are being sucked out of our state and taken out of the country,” he added. “We are not going to let it happen anymore. We are going to stop it. We are going to keep jobs here, and you are going to be very proud of our country very soon. We will build our military bigger, better, stronger than ever before. Nobody is going to mess with us.”
